The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Soviore above Monterosso al Mare.
Some time ago, while I was at home, I decided to take a nice walk and so I headed (with my wife Dao) to the Cinque Terre. Unfortunately the classic Sentiero Azzurro was closed (and recently I had intelligently not checked on the very up-to-date website of the Park) and so we had to reinvent a route using the large network of trails in the area.
We set off on the path that from Monterosso al Mare passes by this splendid sanctuary and then descends to Vernazza.
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Soviore is truly splendid (and photogenic) and repays the effort of the walk to get there.

Here is where the sanctuary is located:

The sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Soviore is a Catholic place of worship located in the municipality of Monterosso al Mare, along the provincial road 38, in the province of La Spezia. The religious building is located within the Cinque Terre National Park along the slopes of Mount Soviore (464 m above sea level) among woods and terraced fields near the road between the municipalities of Monterosso al Mare and Levanto. The church is the seat of the parish of the same name of the Vicariate of the Riviera of the diocese of La Spezia-Sarzana-Brugnato, of which the Madonna di Soviore has been the patron saint since 11 May 1974. The main holidays are on 15 August (the feast of the Assumption of Mary) and the Sunday after 8 September.
